HT3180 MY Apple TV has locked up

MY Apple TV has locked up. I have unplugged everything waited over 10 minutes and re attached. Then I went on line and learned how to restart using down and menu on remote. It seemed to restart only to end up in same locked up screeen. please help

If your problem persists get yourself a micro USB cable (sold separately), you can restore your Apple TV from iTunes:
Remove ALL cables from Apple TV. (if you don't you will not see Apple TV in the iTunes Source list)
Connect the micro USB cable to the Apple TV and to your computer.
Reconnect the power cable (only for Apple TV 3)
Open iTunes.
Select your Apple TV in the Devices list, and then click Restore.
(You may already have a micro USB cable if you have a camera or other digital device)

I set up an apple id for my 12 year old, a verfication email was sent, but google has locked her out because of age. How do I get the verfication email?

Should each person in my house have their own apple id and password?
Can each of the different ID's be linked back to my apple account so that when they purchase apps and music it will be charged to my credit card?

Ask Google... they locked you out of the email account.

My Apple ID has been locked, no outstanding payments, lots of apps so a new Apple ID is not an option. How do I unlock it?

My apple acout has been locked for about a year or longer now because clickandbuy tried to withdraw money from my account but it rejected automatic transfers so I ended up having to pay it through my bank. It has been paid for a long time but my account is still locked so I can´t even purchase FREE apps. This is a real hassle for me since making a new apple ID is not an option (I have a lot of epensive apps on my account).
TL;DR: Is it possible to get my account unlocked?
Kind regards & happy holidays,
Nick Wiliams

You would need to go to an Apple Store (make an appointment) and take the phone, her father's original invoice when the phone was purchased, and a copy of his death certificate. Only with these will Apple unlock it. If you can't get these, the phone is permanently unusable.

Hello my brother wants to buy iphone that has locked apple id. Can i unlock it??

You an only unlock it if you know the Apple ID and password used to lock it. If you do not have or cannot get this information, do not buy this phone.

TS2446 apple id has been locked

my apple ID has been locked because i answered the security questions wrong to many times. How do i unlock it?

If you have a rescue email address (which is not the same thing as an alternate email address) set up on your account then you can try going to https://appleid.apple.com/ and click 'Manage your Apple ID' on the right-hand side of that page and log into your account. Then click on 'Password and Security' on the left-hand side of that page and on the right-hand side you might see an option to send security question reset info to your rescue email address.
If you don't have a rescue email address then see if the instructions on this user tip helps : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-4551

After charging my iPhone 5s the screen has locked with the Apple symbol and will not switch on or off even after connecting to iTunes , i am using the original Apple charger

Has anybody had a similar problem , after charging my iPhone 5s (with the Apple charger and cable ) , the screen on the phone has locked with the Apple Symbol , the phone will neither switch on or off for me to take any action , restore , upgrade etc

I think your iPhone must be stuck in Apple logo. If so, you need to read the help guide: iOS: Not responding or does not turn on - Apple Support

Hello,
My apple id has been lock. but i don't know why.
pls help me check, and tell me the reason.
So how to unlock. i have many important data in this account.
my account email: [email protected]

You should not leave personal info on a public forum.
No one here could know why your account is disabled.
If changing your password does not work, then contact iTunes support.

My apple id has been locked. Now how unlock ma apple id

My apple id has been locked. Now how unlock ma apple id please help me apple store

If it's then disabled you might be able to re-enable it via this page : http://appleid.apple.com, then 'reset your password'
You might then need to log out of your account on and iOS devices that you have by tapping on your id in Settings > iTunes & App Store (Settings > Store on iOS 5 and below) and then log back in so as to 'refresh' the account on them.
If that doesn't fix it then you might need to contact iTunes Support (these are user-to-user forums) : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page

My sons phone has locked up and we can't remember our Apple logon ID or Password

my son has locked his phone and we can't remember the logon ID or pass word is there a way around this please

You need the AppleID and passcode used to activate the iPhone.
There is no workaround for Activation Lock. If you can remember
the AppleId, the passcode can be reset.

Why is my Apple ID being locked out every time I go to use it? I haven't even attempted to log in for about 4 or 5 days, but today on my first attempt to do so, it said my account had been locked for security reasons. This is the third time.

I only sign in to iTunes' store about once a week or so. But during each of my last 3 attempts (on different days, several days apart) on my first attempt to enter my password and hit submit, I am immediately told that my Apple account has been locked for security reasons and it wants to take me to a page to reset my 'forgotten' password. I am using the CORRECT password.
Perhaps someone else is trying to break into my account or is mis-entering theirs but my account should not be getting locked like this. It is very frustrating to have to go through the reset password procedure each and every time I want to go into the store. It seems to me that Apple really doesn't want me to buy any more apps from them as they keep refusing me entry into my own account, each and every time I have tried to use it, for the past few weeks. I am not their best customer, but they aren't giving me much of a welcome invitation to become one, if I'm going to be treated like this.
I just bought my iPhone 4 less than 2 months ago. I paid extra money to upgrade early, just to get this phone because it was so highly recommended by everyone I spoke with in different stores (BestBuy and Verizon). I even bought the 2 year upgrade to my Apple services in case I needed to ever call them, and so far I haven't had to, yet. But I definitely will call them if this isn't straightened out.
It looks like this other user could be tracked and an email could be sent to them from Apple to let them know what they are doing - trying to sign into the wrong account, and are locking somebody else out of their own account because of their error....and to remind them of their correct information or how to get it and to write it down or save it somewhere so they don't keep on doing this.
I have seen literally DOZENS of other people in these discussions with exactly the same issue that I'm having so it is NOT an isolated incident, and it seems to be a growing problem as Apple's sales and user base continues to grow, so this problem is seriously needing to be addressed in some way, and soon, before they start losing new customers because of it. If I was still within my original 14 day return period with this phone, I would definitely be returning it and buying an Android model because of how frustrating this is to me. If my bank was doing this to me, I'd have already switched banks by now if they hadn't fixed it - just to give an example of how I feel about this.

For what it's worth, you posted this in 2011, and here in 2014 I am still having this same issue. Over the last two days, I have had to unlock my apple account 8 times. I didn't get any new devices. I haven't initiated a password reset. I didn't forget my password. I set up two factor authentication and have been able to do the unlocking with the key and using a code sent to one of my devices.
That all works.
It's this having to unlock my account every time I go to use any of my devices. And I have many: iMac, iPad, iPad2, iPad mini, iPhone 5s, iPod touch (daughter), and my old iPhone 4 being used as an ipod touch now. They are all synced, and all was working just fine.
I have initiated an incident with Apple (again) but I know they are just going to suggest I change my Apple ID. It's a simple one, and one that I am sure others think is theirs. I don't want to change it. I shouldn't have to. Apple should be able to tell me who is trying to use it, or at least from where.
Thanks for listening,
Melissa
